DGV provide aims at providing long term livelihood change to the community projects that we work with and therefore our main goal for the fundraising campaigns. We collect donations from well-wishers globally to help build those needy communities in East Africa. DGV is a non-profit organization with a humanitarian goal to help transform the lives of the underprivileged communities within Africa. That is achieved through the volunteer projects that we do together with our generous global volunteers. Volunteers make these contributions through the volunteers’ fees that they pay and the services they provide within the community projects. You can also be part of this by donating to DGV community projects in Africa to touch a life positively if not a community. Do you have a humanitarian purpose like DGV?
